Fragment events in 2024 and 2025

The year is half-way done, and we've seen some great events; I'll share my thoughts on FBDD Down Under 2024 next week.

Boston is where it's at in the second half of 2024, and it's not too soon to start planning for 2025.

September 22-25: After a six year hiatus, FBLD 2024 will be held in Boston. This will mark the eighth in an illustrious series of conferences organized by scientists for scientists. You can read impressions of FBLD 2018, FBLD 2016, FBLD 2014, FBLD 2012, FBLD 2010, and FBLD 2009. Early-bird registration ends August 12, so don't delay!

 

September 30 to Oct 3: Autumn is usually a nice time of year in Boston, so stick around to attend CHI’s Twenty-Second Annual Discovery on Target. As the name implies this event is more target-focused than chemistry-focused, but there are always plenty of FBDD-related talks. You can read my impressions of the 2023 meeting here, the 2022 meeting here, the 2021 event here, the 2020 virtual event here, the 2019 event here, and the 2018 event here.

 

Finally, from December 3-5 CHI holds its first-ever Drug Discovery Chemistry Europe in beautiful Barcelona. This will include tracks on lead generation, protein-protein interactions, degraders, and machine learning, with several fragment talks. (Updated July 8.)

 

2025

April 14-17: CHI’s Twentieth Annual Fragment-Based Drug Discovery, the longest-running fragment event, returns as always to San Diego. This is part of the larger Drug Discovery Chemistry meeting. You can read impressions of the 2024 meeting here, the 2023 meeting here, the 2022 event here, the 2021 virtual meeting here, the 2020 virtual meeting here, the 2019 meeting here, the 2018 meeting here, the 2017 meeting here, the 2016 meeting here; the 2015 meeting here, here, and here; the 2014 meeting here and here; the 2013 meeting here and here; the 2012 meeting here; the 2011 meeting here; and 2010 here. 

 

May 5-6: Returning after a four five year hiatus, Industrial Biostructures of America will be held in Cambridge, MA and includes a session on FBLD. (Updated Aug 21 and Oct 6.)
